Regular visitors know that I often visit Fr. Robert Barron’s site Word on Fire for interesting insights into all things Christian.

In the clip below Fr. Barron creatively uses the characters from the HBO series Rome to illustrate how the three temptations (pleasure, glory, and power) in this week’s gospel play themselves out in this fictional story based in ancient Rome.

Even if you have not seen the minis-series (and please see the warnings in the previous post) I believe you will find Fr. Barron’s take on the temptations very interesting.
